Topic awaiting preservation: Menu

Hi, I have inserted a menu on my page http://www.wssoftware.se
It is an easy document.all(elmnt).style.visibility="visible" menu, and it does not work in netscape...

Just curious if u know what broswers my menu may work in.

Is it hard to fix so this menu is crossbrowser compilant?

Just view souce in http://www.wssoftware.se to see it...

I am not professional at layers/divs/dom so I cant implement a harder menu. (This is found on w3schools btw)

Any help appreciated.

document.getElementByID(elmnt).style.visibility="visible" is the standard way of doing it now. Which versions of Netscape are you looking for it to work in? Older versions require special treatment, as do older versions of IE.

That method will work in all 5+ versions of IE (and that's like over 97% of IE users but then again the getElementById should work in 5+ browsers for IE and NN).

NN4+ would be document.layers.elemnt.visibility I think



.:[ Never resist a perfect moment ]:.

I tried Netscape 7.0 and it didnt even work there so I didnt try the lower versions of Netscape. The menus didnt show up. But maybe I did something wrong I dont know. Some property in Netscape or I dont know.

Can you try if u get it to work in Netscape?

Thx in advance,

Do not use document.all, and do not use document.layers. Use document.getElementById. If you do it right then, it will work in all recent versions of practically every browser.

Thx Slime

Could u give me some practical example of how doing it right is in my example http://www.wssoftware.se

Doing it right does not help me much

Thanks in advance

Read my first post. You simple replace references to document.all with document.getElementByID. Then it should work:

function showmenu(elmnt)

	{

		document.getElementByID(elmnt).style.visibility="visible"

	}

	

	function hidemenu(elmnt)

	{

		document.getElementByID(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden"

	}

elmnt must be the ID of an element in the document.
